California

Argos Scientific, Inc. partners with oil refineries, community groups, and local governments in California to implement and maintain real-time fence-line air monitoring systems, providing public data updates every five minutes. Argos ensures equipment quality, offers expertise in air sampling, and develops initiatives like community monitoring programs and educational webinars to track odorous gases and enhance environmental sampling knowledge.

South Africa

 Argos Scientific Inc. developed a real-time air sampling system for a South African oil refinery, enabling a community response vehicle to handle hazardous spills, odor complaints, and worker safety by monitoring various gases every 30 seconds. This approach has reduced odor complaints by 40%, identifying non-refinery gas sources and enabling effective mitigation.

Middle East

Argos Scientific Inc. has adeptly implemented a comprehensive fence line air monitoring system in the Middle East, integrating open path and point measurements, which allows for precise localization of emission sources and has proven critical in mitigating environmental impacts and protecting public health. Consequently, health, safety, and environmental risks are addressed in real-time, minimizing impact and safeguarding all stakeholders by deploying immediate and appropriate response actions.

      Low-Cost Particulate Sensors

      Products and Services

      Argos has developed an innovative low-cost particulate sampling system that can be used to identify local sources for particulate matter.  The systems are currently being deployed in the City of Los Angeles on street poles and are being installed in Portland, Oregon to assess the impact of local pollution sources on an Environmental Justice community. The ability to combine low-cost sensors with high accurate measurement results allows for the systems to be used for source identification and mitigation.
